Calculation of multiple phylogenetic diversity metrics for plant communities using established phylogenetic trees and null model approaches to test for phylogenetic clustering or overdispersion.

Nested sampling design to construct species-area relationships across multiple spatial scales by subdividing plots into equal-area quadrats and averaging species counts across equivalent areas.

Integration of field GPS coordinates with multiple spatial datasets (elevation, slope, land cover, climate) to characterize environmental conditions at population locations. Uses established spatial d...
